Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Water regularly to revive a dehydrated orchid, but do not over water. Over watering will lead to rotted roots.
2

Feed your orchid fertilizer with every watering. Fertilizer ensures healthy growth.
3

Keep the orchid out of direct sunlight. Shade is essential. Too much sunlight can burn the leaves, leading to leaf loss.
4

Make sure to use the correct potting compost. Bark, moss and coconut husk added to compost will allow sufficient drainage.
5

Change the temperature in the morning and at night. Orchids thrive in warmer daytime temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees and cooler nighttime temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees
6

Keep your orchid in a well-ventilated area with continuous airflow from an open window or a fan. Ventilation helps an orchid stay cool, which leads to healthy growth.
